Chapter 73: Xiao Qing

Cheng Feng knew very well that those lines which sounded cool and edgy but were actually quite childish and embarrassing did not suit him.

"What does it matter to face the world alone?" is just teenage angst; in front of truly great powers, an individual is indeed very powerless.

After all, the ways of the world's various trades are numerous and complex; how could they be fully covered by a simple sentence!

The leaders of his past life told Cheng Feng that the vast ocean of the people is what flows on endlessly.

Even at this moment, Cheng Feng was still striving to explore opportunities for the path of medicine. Before the Panmian, Cheng Feng only needed one opportunity, one initial bit of guidance.

As the saying goes, medicine and poison are of the same family. Cheng Feng did not wish for a day when, if someone were to poison him, he would be as bewildered and helpless as a background extra with no presence.

Not only that, but poison itself is actually an effective means to make oneself stronger.

It is just a pity that wanting to step into the gate of the medical path is no easy task. Without a stroke of luck, who would easily pass on these precious skills to others?

And these unique Secret Manuals are often treasures passed down through generations in families!

After arranging everything for Lao San, Cheng Feng naturally began his journey of accumulating points at home.

Lian Niang and Chen Min in Room Two also became pregnant one after another within a month.

Cheng Feng complained that perhaps this was the only downside; once pregnant, there was no way to do anything.

At this time, Cheng Feng worked silently and diligently: Basic Blade Technique (Proficient 69/200).

At night, Cheng Feng walked toward Xiao Qing's room.

The door was left with a gap, and Cheng Feng strolled inside.

Xiao Qing's face was slightly flushed, her brows and eyes carried a heroic spirit, and her body was no longer that emaciated, skin-and-bones appearance.

Now, she had bright red lips, white teeth, and eyes that sparkled with charm.

Her figure could not be considered bad among the women.

Upon learning that the other women in Room Two were pregnant, Xiao Qing naturally had thought about whether Cheng Feng would cast his gaze toward her.

In terms of looks, Xiao Qing naturally could not compare to Chen Min; in terms of status, Lian Niang was still a free person.

Therefore, Xiao Qing knew her own shortcomings and also knew that her status was at the very bottom.

But Xiao Qing had patience; she could wait, and she could afford to wait.

Sister Cai'er had also said that since they were bought to be by Cheng Feng's side, they could not escape, and there was no need to be unwilling; it was all a matter of time.

Xiao Qing silently observed Cheng Feng's preferences and habits at home. She had no special traits, but she also wanted to become Cheng Feng's woman.

In the whole family, she was the only one left who was a virgin.

Finally, Xiao Qing waited for this day.

During dinner in the afternoon, Cheng Feng whispered in her ear: "Tonight, I will come to find you."

After Xiao Qing indicated she understood, she waited silently for Cheng Feng.

Ever since Cheng Feng brought her out from the Tooth Agency,

treating her with good food, good drink, and good clothes, Xiao Qing had long been devoted to Cheng Feng.

Having experienced the catastrophe, Xiao Qing now only recognized Cheng Feng alone.

Everything fell into place naturally.

Cheng Feng liked Xiao Qing's sensible and well-behaved personality very much; he had always had no fondness for those who were overbearing and arrogant. The ideal woman in his mind should be gentle, graceful, playful, and cute, capable of making the family full of harmony and beauty. At this very moment, a satisfied smile appeared on Cheng Feng's face.

Xiao Qing, however, was still immersed in a sweet dream. Because Cheng Feng was guarding by her side, she did not need to wake up early like she used to today. She could enjoy this peace and comfort with peace of mind, continuing to be intoxicated in her own world of beautiful dreams.

Cheng Feng sat quietly by the bed, gazing at Xiao Qing with gentle eyes, his heart filled with love and care. He knew that Xiao Qing was an important person in his life, and he was willing to guard her silently, giving her endless warmth and comfort.

Yet at this moment, Cheng Feng could not help but worry: he only had a mere twenty taels of silver left on hand; could it be that he still had to purchase a few more maidservants? Otherwise, how would this whole family make a living?

Forget it, forget it; let's just let Xiao Qing stay by his side for now!

After all, Cai'er would be giving birth in three months; and Cuier and Xiaohua also became pregnant in the same month, two months behind Cai'er's pregnancy; furthermore, Chen Min and Lian Niang conceived three months later than the two of them. Calculated this way, everything was still in time.

According to the tavern that had now stabilized, twenty taels a month was a certainty.

One month in advance, two months would be forty taels.

Under the premise of not having too much personal expenditure, if he counted the twenty taels of silver he had newly saved, and then sold the house, he could probably get about thirty taels; in this way, he would basically have ninety taels.

Cheng Feng had once thought about whether to sell some wine to increase income, but doing so might affect the business on Shopkeeper Mei's side, so he did not want to cause extra trouble.

Two months later, if everything went smoothly, he should be able to raise a full ninety taels of silver.

By then, Cheng Feng would be able to realize his wish of having the whole family live together.

However, regarding Meiniang, Cheng Feng was afraid he would still need to delay for another half a year before he could go to propose marriage.

But he firmly believed that Meiniang would definitely be able to handle this matter properly.

After all, the current Cheng Feng had officially become a disciple under the Tieshan Martial Arts Hall, and his fame had spread far and wide; almost everyone knew of him!

Those with slightly higher status and position all knew that behind Cheng Feng, there was not only Wang Tieshan supporting him, but also the entire Tieshan Martial Arts Hall endorsing him.

Although he might face some trouble, it was best not to provoke others easily.

After walking into Room One, Cheng Feng immediately started tidying things up; after all, there was nothing wrong with making a delicious meal for his beloved woman. Besides, trying this lifestyle occasionally felt quite pleasant.

When the other women woke up one after another, they saw at a glance that Cheng Feng was busy at the table.

Cai'er spoke first: "Congratulations to my husband for finally getting what you wished for!"

Cuier and Xiaohua on the side also teased with a laugh: "Look, Master has finally taken Xiao Qing into his room, it's just a little late."

Facing the women's teasing, Cheng Feng did not feel embarrassed; instead, he smiled and watched their gradually bulging bellies.

Because in those bellies, Cheng Feng's own flesh and blood were being nurtured, and these children would surely become the solid foundation for Cheng Feng to build the Cheng Family in the future.

One must know that for a family, population is undoubtedly the most critical factor.

With only two or three people, how could one dare to claim it is a family? That would be too shabby.

Cheng Feng continued to accumulate his foundation at a steady pace.

Haste makes waste, and now was just the time for Cheng Feng to accumulate low-key.

Watching the Basic Blade Technique on the Panmian slowly improve, Cheng Feng felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

However, the base number for the next level increased to 200, and Cheng Feng was helpless about it.

He still worked silently and diligently, hoping to cultivate the Thunderous Blood-Bursting Art into a skill as soon as possible.

Fortunately, it was a static exercise, so it would not cause too much of a commotion in the Martial Arts Hall.

Cheng Feng practiced silently.
